How do I turn off password requirement to run Firefox as a different user?
When I right-click on Firefox while holding shift to run it as a different user, I want to turn off the need to log in, just open it without password, but how?

Firefox doesn't need password to run, can you not logout of the sync so Firefox become just a basic browser?

I'm not logged into Sync, in Firefox, or in Windows. I do see now that it's a Windows Security screen that pops up requiring log in to use Firefox as a 2nd user. In Firefox, I've gone into SETTINGS, PRIVACY AND SECURITY, and turned on "Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts", on both of my Firefox profiles, but it doesn't seem to help. I've also now just posted this, is possibly related?...
Just log off Firefox and make a second Profile on Windows OS to use another Firefox.

But it does stop me from using Firefox as a 2nd user, am having to open it thru the 1st user, about:profiles. We need to figure out how to get Windows to stop depriving us access to our own computers. EDIT - What is it that you want me to do? I have to close the 1st user to then create the 2nd user? How's that done? I thought the 2nd user was created in about:profiles, within the 1st user? EDIT AGAIN, Wait, WHAT? You want me to create an another Windows user? Noooooo. That is not at all an acceptable solution to this.
